As most of you have read I'm sure we went to Hawaii with my family at the end of January. This was an awesome trip to be able to just get away and spend some needed time with family. We both have amazing families and we like to spend as much time with both of them as we can. With our school and work schedules it's been tough. Angel works for Skywest Airlines where he was promoted to the lead of his department recently. I am currently working at Costco and loving all the people there. I couldn't ask for a better group of people to work with. We are very lucky to have these job because with them we receive amazing benefits. One of the best is flying for free! We plan to travel as much as we can this year! We want to take a weekend trip somewhere once finals are over but, we haven't decided where yet. We are also planning a trip to Australia before fall semester. We are going to use it for both our birthday presents. I cannot wait! I have been once and I've always wanted to go back!
This year my younger sister Kori left for her mission to NYC! She is loving it as I'm sure most of you know! Angels younger sister Alex was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis just recently and that has been very hard for her and the family. While we were in Hawaii Angel called his mom and she told him that Alex woke up one morning with pain in her left leg and within a few hours she lost all feeling in it. She cannot move it or feel it at all. They went and had a series of tests done and none of us ever expected it to be anything like MS. When we found out we went straight over to Angels house. That was one emotional night for all of us. Alex is so brave and so strong I know she can fight this. We had some guys from our ward come over and give her a blessing and it was such an amazing experience. Angels family is LDS but no longer active but the strength of the spirit during that time was so strong I couldn't believe it myself. One thing that stood out to me was the dogs. They have 4 pugs which are very hyperactive and love the sound of their own bark I'm convinced. They were put in separate bedrooms in the house and barked and whined the whole time we were talking before the blessing but when the blessing was being given it was completely silent! The dogs didn't make a sound! That in itself was a miracle haha. The whole experience was just awesome for me and Angel and I'm sure his family too! Since then my mom sent me a bunch of juice plus for Alex to take to hopefully help her feel a little better. I sent her my first two seasons on One Tree Hill and told her that watching them always make me feel better and i hope it does the same for her haha.
As for what is happening with us currently, my dad is staring a new business in flipping houses. We are all pretty excited about that and ready to get started. Me and Angel just stared P90X and are trying really hard to eat healthier and get in better shape for the summer. Neither one of us want to let marriage get the best of our bodies haha. Angel's mom asks us every time we see her when we are going to give her her first grand baby. She is too cute and we tell her as soon as we are ready haha. I cannot wait for that day when we tell her we have one on the way. She will be so excited. Me and Angel are pretty baby hungry but, I definitely want to finish school first and Kori told me I had to wait for her to be home so who knows! But that is our update for the year so far, I'm sure a lot more will happen so stay tuned!
